In Florida and in the South in general, fresh wreaths dry out very quickly, but I am not a huge fan of artificial wreaths. I found an alternative that I really love.
A red lacquer Christmas wreath available in four sizes from The Well Appointed House - I bet you didn't believe I could find a Chinoiserie Christmas wreath!
A gorgeous front door to welcome guests on Thanksgiving. I love the square orange wreath suspended from a ribbon that hangs from the door knocker. Such a clever idea. In my mind's eye I see out of our sight a pair of blue and white Chinese planters flanking the door and a Greek key door mat.
